Fight Amnesty
I received this via e-mail, This is worth reposting. Folks need to take this seriously and speak out, especially fellow Republicans!!
Sphere: Related ContentAccording to the Washington Post: “Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) who led negotiations on the [amnesty] bill for his party said the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded…”
What???? Now wait just a minute… Exactly where is Senator Kyl getting his information?
Obviously not from you, because according to the Associated Press, during the 10-day legislative recess last week Senator Kyl “scheduled no public appearances” back in Arizona. Instead, he spent the majority of his time last week “huddling with party officials in Phoenix.”
In fact, contrary to Kyl’s public statement in the Post; the Associated Press is reporting that, the Arizona Republican Party is being bombarded with angry calls:
“Brett Mecum, spokesman for the Arizona Republican Party, says that from May 21 through May 25 his office received 1,600 calls from Republicans threatening to tear up their membership cards and join other parties. In 12 years in the business, says Mr. Mecum, he’s ‘never seen people try to walk away from the party, this irate over one single issue, as last week here.’ That volume of calls led Randy Pullen, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, to call a press conference to say that the Arizona GOP opposes the proposed law.”
In the same Associated Press report, Matt Towery, the CEO of Insider Advantage, a nonpartisan polling firm in Atlanta adds:
“Our research shows that [Kyl and Graham] are delusional if they think that the Republican base, the conservative base, is happy with that bill… I think they’re trying to talk themselves into believing that, but it’s not working.” [Emphasis Mine]
And in the past two weeks, NewsMax.com readers together with CFIF activists sent more than 200,000 Blast Faxes to our elected leaders in Washington — and that includes Senator Kyl.
Those faxes are having a tremendous effect. In the past two weeks, a number of senators — such as Senators John Cornyn, Kay Bailey-Hutchison, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, to just name a few — who were supporting amnesty are now sitting on the fence or have come over to your side.
That progress wouldn’t be possible if, in Senator Kyl’s words, “the flood of angry calls and protests that greeted the deal two weeks ago has since receded…”
Truth be told, pro-amnesty forces in the Senate know full well that their coalition is unraveling.
And they would simply love for you to SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP… they would simply love for you — and their colleagues — to believe that your opposition to amnesty is wavering and they would love for you to give up the fight!
That’s why you’re seeing press reports claiming that opposition to amnesty is wavering. After all, if you read it in the papers… it must be true!
BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN!
The Senate is back in session… debating this horrendous bill that will give IMMEDIATE LEGAL STATUS TO 12 TO 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS! And a final vote on the Amnesty bill could be had as early as this week!
We want to send at least another 100,000 Blast Faxes to our elected leaders in Washington DC in the hours leading up to this vote!
We want them to know that YOUR DETERMINATION TO STOP AMNESTY is NOT WAVERING! And that these press ploys ARE NOT WORKING!
We CAN stop this Amnesty bill from passing, but only if you act now — ONLY IF WE KEEP THE PRESSURE ON OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS!
Who’s Going To Pay For This Amnesty?
And what about the cost of this Let’s-Abolish-America legislation?
According to Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, the price tag of this amnesty bill could reach 2.5 TRILLION dollars… that’s 2.5 followed by 11 zeros!
To put it another way… that’s 5 times the cost of the Iraq war.
But moreover, according to Rector, each illegal alien household would generate a net cost to taxpayers of $19,588 per year. Rector is basing that figure on fiscal year 2004 statistics which show that low-skilled immigrant households received on average $30,160 in benefits and services and paid only $10,573 in taxes.
And those aren’t the only costs. Just three more examples…
Section 622(m) of the bill provides free legal services to certain illegal aliens. It’s not free… our tax dollars pay for it.
Another section of the bill repeals the un-enforced federal law that prohibits states from offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens. In other words, if you’re from Georgia and want to go to college in Virginia, you pay a substantially higher tuition. but if you’re in the country illegally, you pay the same rate as Georgia taxpayers, who built and have always supported the school.
Oh, yes, and the granting of Social Security benefits to millions will bankrupt the system. Funny how the liberals in Congress are suddenly quiet on that subject.

This issue is crazy!!! When did DC go completely nuts? They’ve always been out of touch, but this????
I got so upset with the “leaders” in DC - and with their arrogance on the amnesty issue, despite the outcry from the American public - that I recently created a web site with anti-amnesty, anti-Congress, pro-fence, and pro-border magnets and bumper stickers.
It is:
www.bordersealers.com
Besides the letters and petitions I signed to my Senators this is the best way I thought I could help contribute to the fight. If anyone has suggestions for how to spread the word I’m all ears.
Keep up the fight to protect America!
